Dis was my switch and my biggest concern was the triggers! Weeks of playing and they feel great if not the same with the original shell ❤️ over the moon about my revamped baby
Thank you for taking the time to produce such a clear instructional video. My daughter is delighted with her newly re-housed switch, joy-cons and dock.
@@DammitJeff It’s alright, your intentions were amazing and I’m sure you’ve already helped a lot of normal people that just want their switch to look nicer, like me (even tho I don’t have one 🥲). There’s always gonna be people that ruin stuff like this we just gotta be more watchful unfortunately.
So I sold my regular switch to get the animal crossing one... when i could’ve just spent $35 👁👄👁 Anyways, this is extremely helpful!! I’ll definitely be telling my friends to try this so we can all match
Don't feel too bad. Modding the switch also means losing the warranty. Which would mean that if you messed it up, and Nintendo could be able to tell you had been opening the switch or joycons up, they would refuse to help you. This is super cool, but only something one should do if they know how to do it right. I have seen so many people write about having broken their joycons etc. by modding them. I'm not against modding AT ALL
How much did you sell yours for? I sold my V1 for $250 so only “loss” $50. Totally worth it IMO because I didn’t have to look for adequate parts or worry about voiding my warranty. I’ve already taken full advantage of it once because of the joycon drift issue.
I paid $450 for one of these in march because it was the only thing my sister wanted for her birthday. Now I kinda want to do a shell swap on my red and blue joycons... but my hands shake way too much.
yo, my hands shake SO MUCH and i’ve shell swapped my joycons/replaced the batteries so much. the shaking doesn’t matter much, it’s more frustrating than genuinely a risk for breaking anything, as long as you work slowly and keep track of where your screws go!!
Thanks to you I can experience the Animal Crossing switch myself. You went over everything: The backplate, The Joy-Cons, The dock and The Joy-Con's software colors. The only thing you didn't go over were the SL and SR buttons. That's ok however, since they're not too hard to replace anyway. We appreciate your efforts and I hope that your channel will get the attention it deserves. And so, to show you my appreciation and to make up for using AdBlock, Here's 2 Swiss Francs.
I recently picked up an animal crossing switch from Wal-Mart even after seeing this guide. I decided to sell my old Nintendo switch to my sister who wanted a switch for about 150 half the price of the original switch. My sister wanted an animal crossing switch as well, but couldn't afford 300 so this guide was very helpful for her! Since it was an older switch she did buy the shell definitely made the console feel like new, and the replacement of the joycon shells gave them that feel of being new without that feeling of the paint being worn down from sweat. Over all she basically got an animal crossing switch for only 185, 150 being from me selling her the switch and the 35 being from the shells so overall this saved her money! Thank you for this guide!
@@maybeIazy first of all making assumptions like that is rude, second of all we are both adults in our 20's, if we where still kids then yeah it would be kind of rude to ask her to buy it off of me, and still she only payed 150 for the switch, used switches online are going for almost the same price as new ones so finding one at half price is almost impossible. Please before you make a comment have some common scenes and don't try making it look like i have a bad relationship with my family, all i tried to do is talk about how i made my sister happy with the shell swap, not the other way around.
I am going to assume the Roblox person is a child. You are too young to understand transactions between friends and family. My friends pay me for art because it is respectful to do, I could make it for free but they WANT to pay me because it is the right thing to do
I've only done 2 shell swaps, my first time I did the "keep it all together" method. It wasn't too bad, but disconnecting everything actually panned out being easier, albeit taking longer. Awesome video man, earned a new sub!
Really helpful guide! managed to switch mine into an animal crossing shell thanks to you! 😄 tho as a beginner I had no idea how to properly remove ribbon cables, not sure how to yank it out, so I ended up using the method where the all the ribbon cables are attached
7:11 no way! i am going to be making a customized switch sometime soon (when i can afford one) i am really excited to do it! i am also doing the buttons!
Yeah I don’t even know what half the things he’s talking about are, or what they do. I just bought the Animal Crossing Switch directly from Nintendo when it restocked. I’m so glad I asked my family to give me money for Christmas this year or I wouldn’t have been able to afford a switch at all.
That’s so cool that you can rig your own AC Switch. I already got my Fiancée one during the restock, but it was enjoyable seeing the process. You even showed how to change the color of the controller in the software which was a nice touch.
I don’t think they’d really care as long as you bought the switch. Both versions have the same retail price, so they aren’t gaining anything from you buying from the price scalpers vs buying a different version and customizing it. In fact, if they sold the parts needed to customize it, they’d stand to make even more money with minimal extra work, since they can sell the parts without needing to assemble them.
Im amazed at how simple the Switch is and I agree even as someone who plans, but has never swapped shells or backs on the switch. Id definitely just take the time to remove the what. Four of rive ribbon cables that are there? At least I'd definitely disconnect the ribbon cables to the rail and make the process of swapping a balance of quick and easy. Id love to see someday how that method would work cause I do wanna swap my shells and back myself for my birthday
If this was me my joycons wouldn’t work anymore, not because I broke it somehow or ripped a cable. But because all the insides got drowned in my hand sweat.
@@Piikaachuu1203 I’m kidding, even if I had nothing to lose I wouldn’t touch my joycons I would just buy new ones. But currently I have a warranty on mine and they’ve lasted for awhile
Even as someone who works on iPhones and other small devices rather regularly, I will always take apart the switch joycons fully as it is WAYYYYY too risky to do the method everyone was saying. It's just crazy to think a beginner could do that first time.
Honestly I had no problems myself doing that because I knew I’d have more trouble getting the ribbon cables plugged back in and risking damaging them than just carefully maneuvering them around as I took it apart
I left the cables attached for my first customization. All except the joystick cable… it makes it a lot easier. IMO, it’s more risky for a beginner to disconnect and reconnect a ribbon cable than it is to just leave them alone. I had never done any kind of electronics work or modification, and I knew I’d have trouble plugging the cables back in. If you’re extremely delicate and pay attention, it shouldn’t cause any issues to leave them plugged in.
From experience, I feel like undoing all the ribbons for the Joycons is much better than leaving them in because its less messy and you’re less likely to break anything. Also if you’re doing this for your personal switch I don’t think you need to go fast, it only saves a considerable amount of time if you work in a repair environment and you do a lot of shell swaps (which isn’t even that common anyway)
I...didn't realize that there was a particular shortage of those at the time. Ironically enough, I just picked one up at Walmart for MSRP around that time. Not because I wanted the Animal Crossing, but because it was the only one available.
@@elijah6169 pretty sure they mentioned it just as an example of what you can achieve with the customization, I don't see the point of it either, but there's probably some folk out there who does
Thank you so much for this, I think you just gave me a new addiction lol. I just opened a joycon for the first time. I had to replace the latch in my blue joycon because it was no longer staying attached to the switch. Was fucking terrifying, but I did it and now I'm looking forward to at some point giving this a try.
Hey man! I finished my complete swapping and also did the Color writing via Software. Also i am very happy that i got a complete Swap Bundle INCLUDING the Joy Cons with the Nintendo text on the backsite. And all for 25 Euros. (im from Germany) Thanks so much for this Video!

“Dirt inside of your joy sticks tends to be one of the biggest reasons for joy stick drift” Me: *looks over to all my joy cons with joy stick drift* “Oh that makes sense....”
“All the other screws want attention. Don’t give it to them!” iconic Also: “I heard the games taste like skittles when you lick them. Give it a go!” Me: What wise words, I shall now proceed to try.
Excellent video. Especially the modifying of the joycon firmware. I strongly suggest anyone doing a case swap for the joycons do that to maintain consistency and to ensure you get the free in-game switch.
I’d be too scared I’d do something wrong from the beginning and mess it up. So I would not do this unless I know there’s 100% chance that nothing will happen while doing this 😬😅
honestly the back plate is super easy so i would recommend trying it! there’s nothing that can go wrong as long as you don’t like go crazy and snap your switch in half lmao.
You need to have more confidence and self worth, but it's good to play it safe. Personally I'm a little bit of a risk taker and like doing things outside my comfort zone 😁
3:26 you sick bastard🤣🤣 I know what you're doing🤣🤣🤣 Usually when I don't have my hands free I use my lips to hold the cartidges and ai didn't understand why I was always left with a horrifying taste on my lips until I read that they have that bitter flavour in order not to make children eat the cartidges🤣🤣
Fr tho my switch keeps falling in the airport because the kickstand being weak and it wears even more down when u buy micro SD cards because u have to take the kickstand off or else it’s super hard to put in the micro SD card
FR I waited after Christmas for it to come because I got the Animal Crossing version (I bought it for my sisters) PLUS what a coincidence that the only ones left were the grey kind, recommended to late, but I don't care. It's just funny😂
My Gf wanted just the joycon case so I just case swapped them. It was terrifying to do them for the first time. But after about 3 hours I got them both done. They were super happy.
3 years later, appreciate it. Girlfriend wants this edition, not sure if its moddable yet since I had a switch awhile ago. Gonna buy a regular one, mod it. transfer her Yuzu save and re-shell it. preshiate bud
I love this video. I come back to this and the first joycon swap all the time. I love the way its filmed, I love the sounds, how raw it feels, the witty remarks, everything. please keep doing what you are doing, you are incredible!
I just walked into a target and saw the switch just sitting there, told myself i didn’t need it per say but weeks later, and I’m being realistic with y’all, I mean…I’m talking weeks later, when I can actually afford it, this animal crossing switch was still sitting there. So I just copped it AND I got a huge discount for taking it home. 😂😂
@DANIELLE RAMIREZ be honest no one dose.. its actually terrible I only have my switch for a month now and the rubber is already coming off becous of how you have to rip the thing open
This is awesome. I would love to see more custom switch "variants" made. Like if there are more docks out there, making your own custom Mario, Zelda or Sonic switch for example. :)
I once put a splatoon 2 cartridge in my mouth for a stop motion video. The taste came in a while after. Not my proudest achievement, I have done worse though
Pretty sure you need to include the cost of a base Switch in your cost... and Amazon currently lists that as $289.99. $289.99 + $35 = more than the Animal Crossing one... did the prices suddenly skyrocket or was this always just a customization video?
@@hifriend5242 it's for people who have Version 1 or that have a modded switch that won't want to lose there system when they could just do a simple swap
When you add the cost of the shell for the dock to the $35 for the other stuff, you only save $45 off the non-inflated price of the Animal Crossing Switch. That's not even counting the price of the screwdriver set he has, since not everyone would just have them on hand. But at least Nintendo would only receive $200 for the Switch, the other $50 being divided amongst those you bought the shells and such from, and $45 that you'd keep in your wallet unless you buy a new game.
Dis was my switch and my biggest concern was the triggers! Weeks of playing and they feel great if not the same with the original shell ❤️ over the moon about my revamped baby

Technically you wouldve wasted more money since you sold your old and got the new switch while this one required additional money
@@ThatOneGuy-nm7ij I guess it depends on how much they sold the old one for, if they didn't break even or lost more than 35 bucks then not as much

3:21 You have caused so much pain to so many people just by saying that. Perfect!
From experience, I feel like undoing all the ribbons for the Joycons is much better than leaving them in because its less messy and you’re less likely to break anything. Also if you’re doing this for your personal switch I don’t think you need to go fast, it only saves a considerable amount of time if you work in a repair environment and you do a lot of shell swaps (which isn’t even that common anyway)
For some reason this is super relaxing. :D Almost like you are the Bob Ross of console mods. :D
I...didn't realize that there was a particular shortage of those at the time. Ironically enough, I just picked one up at Walmart for MSRP around that time. Not because I wanted the Animal Crossing, but because it was the only one available.
Yeah, the Animal Crossing edition has always been available everywhere, and it's still is right now on Gamestop, Bestbuy, Amazon and Nintendo store.
But he is right about the scalpers, especially on eBay.
I live in Brazil and we barely have any switch consoles so imagine an animal crossing one, this video made me really happy, thank you.
DO NOT I repeat DO NOT lick the cartridges. THEY TASTE LIKE SOAP. Now don’t ask how I know 😅
Lol
they taste like batteries lmao
They taste pretty good
i tried it and now i wish i could cut of my tongue. gross
skyrim tastes like bad graphics
“Taste like skittles” Soo Truee 😂
when you told us to lick the cartridge I just said “oh you monster.”
I licked it UnU
I had no idea you could completely change the dock like that, definitely going to give that a go.
Know you can even transfer the parts in the Nintendo made dock into a smaller shell.
@@nathansstuff1547 I don't know why you would want a smaller shell, the screen would be exposed
@@elijah6169 pretty sure they mentioned it just as an example of what you can achieve with the customization, I don't see the point of it either, but there's probably some folk out there who does
Nintendo’s really gonna say “DAMMIT JEFF” after watching this
Lol
Funny
Lol
Thank you so much for this, I think you just gave me a new addiction lol. I just opened a joycon for the first time. I had to replace the latch in my blue joycon because it was no longer staying attached to the switch. Was fucking terrifying, but I did it and now I'm looking forward to at some point giving this a try.
"Licking these cartridges are pretty sweet! They taste like skittles. Give it a try!"

Excellent video. Especially the modifying of the joycon firmware. I strongly suggest anyone doing a case swap for the joycons do that to maintain consistency and to ensure you get the free in-game switch.
I’d be too scared I’d do something wrong from the beginning and mess it up. So I would not do this unless I know there’s 100% chance that nothing will happen while doing this 😬😅
honestly the back plate is super easy so i would recommend trying it! there’s nothing that can go wrong as long as you don’t like go crazy and snap your switch in half lmao.

Usually when I don't have my hands free I use my lips to hold the cartidges and ai didn't understand why I was always left with a horrifying taste on my lips until I read that they have that bitter flavour in order not to make children eat the cartidges🤣🤣

Yes but without the swap part lmao
It’s cake 3D printing and painting white joycons and using the same things they use to make the joycons

My Gf wanted just the joycon case so I just case swapped them. It was terrifying to do them for the first time. But after about 3 hours I got them both done. They were super happy.

Thanks for the video. All those comments people left you were very rude.
its 2021 now where i am
Ok
It already is when you posted this
This makes me want to do it just for the experience. Recently got addicted to people customizing their switch.
I love this video. I come back to this and the first joycon swap all the time. I love the way its filmed, I love the sounds, how raw it feels, the witty remarks, everything. please keep doing what you are doing, you are incredible!
I just walked into a target and saw the switch just sitting there, told myself i didn’t need it per say but weeks later, and I’m being realistic with y’all, I mean…I’m talking weeks later, when I can actually afford it, this animal crossing switch was still sitting there. So I just copped it AND I got a huge discount for taking it home. 😂😂
"Otherwise your kick stand won't work anymore"
Every switch owner ever" oh noo how horrible...
@DANIELLE RAMIREZ be honest no one dose.. its actually terrible I only have my switch for a month now and the rubber is already coming off becous of how you have to rip the thing open
@DANIELLE RAMIREZ word.
Maby they'll fix it with the switch pro? Maby... who am I kidding there nit making that.

This is awesome. I would love to see more custom switch "variants" made. Like if there are more docks out there, making your own custom Mario, Zelda or Sonic switch for example. :)
I feel bad for anybody who actually licked the cartridge and didn’t know how terrible they taste
It tasted like poison

I once put a splatoon 2 cartridge in my mouth for a stop motion video. The taste came in a while after. Not my proudest achievement, I have done worse though
Its so babys don't eat them.
Square Donut what? No
Pretty sure you need to include the cost of a base Switch in your cost... and Amazon currently lists that as $289.99. $289.99 + $35 = more than the Animal Crossing one... did the prices suddenly skyrocket or was this always just a customization video?
Ah yes, $35 to make a switch while we paying $499 for these thanks to scalpers.
Yeah honestly this is cool hope to see more stuff like this.
Right. It’s F scalpers till the end. The PS5 situation speaks for itself it’s ridiculous. The less money they can grab the better ✊
You can buy one from gamestop for the original price. People just let them get over by being impatient
Don’t you still need to buy a switch? It would come out to about $335

Dammit Jeff: I made my own Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo: No, that's illegal! cease and desist.
When you add the cost of the shell for the dock to the $35 for the other stuff, you only save $45 off the non-inflated price of the Animal Crossing Switch. That's not even counting the price of the screwdriver set he has, since not everyone would just have them on hand. But at least Nintendo would only receive $200 for the Switch, the other $50 being divided amongst those you bought the shells and such from, and $45 that you'd keep in your wallet unless you buy a new game.
@@abadgurl2010 it’s mainly bc they are just sooo hard to get, so if you really want one it’s worth the work. not for saving money
